    First off I want to say THANK YOU Rufus!!!!

    This was taken in front of some friends of mine booth.

    It was a hot sunny day as you can tell by the shadows and we two bearded codgers were having a good time taking in everything and Leslie was also having a good time (she took the picture).

    What you probably don't see is Graham standing on his tiptoes LOL

    A great photo, you chaps!

    I have a question: does Graham's green wristband match his green tights? I'd hate to think of him wearing clashing greens - so uncool!! ;)

    Thanks for doing that rufus, hamish...the band was so we could buy a pint, they had a weird system there for payment.

    Speaking of a pint, I tried an English beer here called "Old Peculiar", I told the waitress I'd choose that because it described me my word was it ever a fine drop of beer!!

    and I WASN'T on tippy-toes!!! not true!!

    Great picture guys ..... Graham 'Theakstons Old Peculiar' is a really fabulous beer. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
    Graham, I will know in a few days time exactly what the form will or will not be for London. Our dog has been very pooly recently and my niece was involved in a car accident and has been in hospital for just over three weeks, so weve been helping Elaine's sister out with babysitting etc as they have a 10 year old son as well. The last few weeks have been very hectic and I apologise for the non communication but I'm sure we will be able to sort something out. Perhaps since you have access to the net I could pm you or you me with any further info that might aid us (mobile numbers or whatever).
    Glad you are both having a good time on your travels. We had a great day on Sunday .. I'm now going to post another thread here right now about that.
    Take care
    Derek.

    David, that would be great, I do hope we meet up.

    Derek, likewise, if we can meet that would be great. For both of you I have a mobile, 0418142931, but.....I think you will have to dial +61 then drop the zero, it will be an expensive call, so only for urgent matters.

    I may get a local number in the UK, not sure if it's worth the hassle.

    I suspect I could pose for a pic with Graham and Glen and fit right in.

    The beards. We would all look good in kilts and beards.

    Mine makes me look a bit like some crazed berserker or perhaps Cthulhu, compared to those two with their nicely groomed whiskers... But that's ok.

    Don't take this the wrong way... But I like seeing men in beards. It makes me feel good that some men are still comfortable being men... It's kinda like kilt wearing. Men should be hairy and whiskery. It's natural.

    Oh look, I am rambling again. Sorry about that. :grin:

    Thanks for all the postive comments guys, but I am only speaking as the guy on the right.

    It was great meeting up with Graham, so Ham, Derek, and David I hope you can.

    Ham those wrist bands are suppose to ease the congestion at the beer tent for the dispensing of the beer, however I find them such a bother.

    Dread, you would have fit right in with your humor, and I do agree, a man with a beard is a man and a half. But I can also say that a man in a kilt is a man and a half. If you would have been with us people would have been seeing nine guys thinking they were really seeing three. Math lesson over.
